There's a new song for Goku's appearance too, and it's pretty awesome!

Can't wait for episode 42, it's gonna be epic!!

Yeah some really nice music from that episode. Vegeta's power-up gets a nice tune and so did the restoration of Goku. Episode really showed how powerless everyone was against Freeza. Vegeta can't touch him and everyone there is just frozen in terror.

And I guess Goku's theme in this episode might be used for his SSJ transformation as well.

I really wouldn't be surprised if it is. Good piece of music.

The music placement from when Vegeta gave up the will to fight was seriously, seriously good. I've loved the piece that was used when Freeza began his attack, and it was especially fitting for that scene. It was very emotional, and brought me to tears at the sight of Vegeta's destruction.

I believe that Goku is going to start fighting Freeza at episode 43. Their fight in the original Z series lasted 19 episodes. Out of those 19, the first 9 were Goku fighting in base form. At the end of the 9th episode, he turns into a SS. Since the average Kai episode seems to cover roughly 2 Z episodes at least, I'd say we can expect Goku to go SS at the end of episode 46.

Actually the fight start in the next episode (as seen in the preview) anyway I'm going for episode 45, if only because with episode 46 you would only have four episodes for the entire SSJ fight plus everyone getting revived and finding out Goku is alive, which doesn't seem doable, even if its Kai.

Goku does not start fighting Freeza in the next episode. All he does is kick him once in the face and deflect some ki blasts. The central focus of the episode is going to be about Vegeta explaining his past and dying at the very end. After that (which by the looks of the preview will be the following episode (43)), the fight truly begins. And nothing was ever said about Kai being 50 episodes.

If we don't see any of the filler material (which i highly doubt it with Kai's track record), then yeah i agree we should see it at episode 46.

True, though it's the total DVD count that adds upto 50 episodes. Still that doesn't mean it won't continue, just that the DVD's for Kai will end then. Who knows what might happen after, i mean it might go under a new title, and the recut will continue.

Haven't we done this before?

Jokes aside, I assumed that Goku kicking Frieza, as seen in the preview, wasn't from Vegeta's funeral episode. I was wrong with that one.

As for the DVDs I have to agree with Shiroth. Although I have to add the DVD count confirms, at least, that the Frieza arc will end at episode 50 because the last DVD only has two episodes (49 and 50) while all the other DVDs (with the exception of the first one) has three episodes. If the Frieza arc ends at episode 51 then they would have added that episode on the final DVD. You can see the DVD count here (click on the link with the 5 star Dragon ball

Anyway if the fight starts in episode 43 then the SSJ will definitely be in episode 46, if not then I'll stick with episode 45. I don't remember much of the Goku vs Frieza fight so I wouldn't be surprised if I end up being wrong.

I took a look at the link. The episodes that we're watching right now are going to be released much later on in the year. It seems like Toei made this DVD count a while back, so I won't be surprised if it's subjected to any changes because they probably didn't know exactly at the time how many episodes the Freeza arc would last.

They played the usual song for whenever someone dies. However, right after Vegeta dies, a new musical track plays (which was very good, by the way) when King Kai is reflecting on the life Vegeta lived and the kind of person he truly was.

And Ryo Horikawa deserves a round of applause for his performance in this episode. The emotion he put into his voice made Vegeta's last words very sad and powerful. This is a scene that definitely tops the original.

I just wished they would have remastered the original Dragon Ball-series.
I mean I love DBZ for nostalgic reasons, and back then the anime was something important and influential to the "industry"...but from a modern point of view, to be honest, DBZ is just bad, whereas DB is a timeless classic that has more humour and a much greater sense of adventure.
